  • Docswithdisabilities Podcast #8 Satendra Singh, MBBS, MD Release Date: November 26, 2019
    DocsWithDisabilities Podcast #8 Satendra Singh, MBBS, MD Release Date: November 26, 2019 Satendra Singh, MBBS, MD: Transforming Medical Education in India Introduction: Lisa Meeks Doctors with disabilities exist in small but measurable numbers. How did they navigate their journey? What were the challenges? What are the benefits to patients and to their peers? What can we learn from their experiences? My name is Lisa Meeks and I am thrilled to bring you the Docs with Disabilities podcast. Join me as I interview Docs, Nurses, Psychologists, OT’s, PT’s, Pharmacists, Dentists, and the list goes on. I’ll also be interviewing researchers and policy makers that ensure medicine remains an equal opportunity profession. Lisa Meeks: We are excited to bring you a special international episode of the Docs with Disabilities Podcast. Today, I get to chat with Dr. Singh, about his incredible victories of late, including the addition of 8 disability focused competencies to the medical education curriculum in India. Let’s listen, or read along, as Dr. Singh talks about these new competencies within the new curriculum. Satendra Singh: We in India modified our curriculum after 22 years, and now the curriculum is a competency based medical education curriculum. Even in the previous curriculum, the similitude of the elephant in the room has been used to chronicle the experiences of patients with disabilities within the medical profession that she is present but unnoticed. And that was a reason why we for a very long time use the medical model of disabilities in our curriculum. So, when our curriculum was updated again, they came up with a new competency-based medical education curriculum, but unfortunately it still did not include the human rights approach towards people with disability.

  • Disability Ethics in the Coronavirus Crisis Satendra Singh1 1Medical Humanities Group, University College of Medical Sciences, Delhi, India
    Invited Articles Disability ethics in the coronavirus crisis Satendra Singh1 1Medical Humanities Group, University College of Medical Sciences, Delhi, India ABSTACT The disability viewpoint is fundamental for understanding and advancing social justice for everyone in the population. Despite this fact, it is regularly dismissed by public health experts and policymakers. Understanding of disability rights is central in an all‑inclusive COVID‑19 preparedness. This paper attempts to explore disability ethics in understanding structural discrimination, equitable practices, respect for disability culture and ways to safeguard health care professionals with disabilities in the coronavirus pandemic. In crisis standards of care, resource allocations must not be solely based on a disabled person’s subjective quality of life. Health professionals should avoid stereotypes about an individual’s disability to ration care. Triage protocol committees and disaster risk reduction working groups should explicitly recruit people with disabilities and chronic illnesses in their response strategies. Disability ethics can reform medical rationing by removing prejudices and safeguarding fair protection of the interests of all patients, including those with a disability. Keywords: Clinical ethics, coronavirus, COVID‑19, disability studies, disabled persons, health equity, medical ethics, pandemics, resource allocation, social justice, standards of care/ethics*, triage The outbreak of a novel coronavirus—first reported in Wuhan, everyday activities.[3] In a pandemic like COVID‑19, the task China, on 31 December 2019—quickly erupted into a human of primary care teams becomes more challenging because crisis.
